The International Dyslexia Learning Solutions website uses “cookies” to help you personalise your online experience
A cookie is a piece of information that is held on the hard drive of your computer which records how you have used a website. Cookies allow website operators to accumulate useful information, such as whether the computer (and sometimes its user) has visited the site before. This is done on a repeat visit by checking to see, and finding, the cookie left there on the last visit. For more information, see our Cookies Policy here.
If you fail to provide personal data
Where we need to collect personal data by law, or under the terms of a contract we have with you and you fail to provide that data when requested, we may not be able to perform the contract we have or are trying to enter into with you (for example, to award your qualification or provide you with copies of any certificates you request). In this case, we may have to cancel a service you have with us, but we will notify you if this is the case at the time.
How do we store and protect your personal information?
Storing your information
All information you provide to us is stored on secure servers in the UK. Where we have given you (or where you have chosen) a password which enables you to access certain parts of our site, you are responsible for keeping this password confidential. We ask you not to share a password with anyone.
Protecting your information
International Dyslexia Learning Solutions has a range of other technical and organisational measures in place to protect your personal data including being Cyber Essentials Plus certified, access controls to restrict access on a need-to-know basis, uniquely identifying users to monitor and review access attempts, and physical security. Personal data is never disclosed or shared with unauthorised people. International Dyslexia Learning Solutions has internal policies and controls in place to protect personal data against loss, accidental destruction, misuse, or disclosure, and to ensure that data is not accessed, except by employees in the proper performance of their duties.
We also have procedures in place to deal with any suspected data security breach. This applies to a security breach leading to the accidental loss, damage, destruction or unlawful access or disclosure to your personal data. We will notify you and any applicable regulator of a suspected data security breach where we are legally required to do so and report any substantial risk to the rights and freedoms of individuals within any period applicable by law.
However, it would not be considered a breach if the personal data were received unknowingly or unintentionally and then erased in line with data minimisation policies. For example, if you sent us personal information that we did not require or request, we shall delete this as soon as possible and ask you to refrain from sending any unnecessary personal or special data again.
In certain circumstances, the GDPR allows personal data to be disclosed to law enforcement agencies without the consent of the data subject. Under these circumstances, International Dyslexia Learning Solutions will disclose the requested data. However, we will ensure the request is legitimate, following any relevant policies and protocols.
How long do we keep your data for?
Where we are relying on your consent or our legitimate interests to process your data then we will keep your personal data until you withdraw your consent for us to use it, or object to the processing in our legitimate interests and we agree with your objection.
A school can request that we delete the personal data of school users at any time, and in the absence of any specific request from the school we will retain user’s personal data for as long as is reasonably needed to perform our contractual obligations to you.
We will also retain your personal data according to other applicable UK laws and regulations, depending upon the nature of the services we have provided to you.
How we adopt Data Protection by Design
Ascentis trading as IDL have adopted the principle of Data Protection by Design and Default.
This means that at the beginning and continuing through any new project or system, we keep the safety and security of everyone’s personal data at the forefront and implement whatever measures are necessary to comply with data protection laws.
We will take all steps reasonably necessary to ensure that your data is treated securely and in accordance with this policy. We try to ensure that all information you provide to us is transferred securely via the website. Unfortunately, the transmission of information via the internet is not completely secure. Although we will do our best to protect your personal data, we cannot guarantee the security of your data transmitted to our site; any transmission is at your own risk. Once we have received your information, we will use strict procedures and security features to try to prevent unauthorised access.
What data protection rights do you have?
What are your rights?
The GDPR grants individuals several data protection rights, including the right to access their personal data, request its correction or deletion, restrict its processing, and obtain a copy of it in a portable format.
Individuals also have the right to object to the processing of their data, withdraw consent, and lodge complaints with data protection authorities.
These rights promote transparency, control, and privacy in the handling of personal data, giving individuals the ability to manage their information and ensuring organisations adhere to responsible data practices.
More information can be found on the ICO Website:
| Data Subject Right: | Explanation: |
| The right to be informed | This right ensures that individuals have access to clear and transparent information about the processing of their personal data.
It requires organisation to provide concise and easily accessible details about the purposes of processing, the data recipients, the retention period, and other relevant information. This right empowers individuals to make informed decisions, exercise their data subject rights, and fosters trust and transparency in data processing practices. |
| The right of access | This right grants individuals the right to request and obtain confirmation of whether their personal data is being processed by an organisation.
If the data is being processed, individuals have the right to access and obtain a copy of their personal data. Organisations are required to provide relevant information, respond to requests in a timely manner, and generally do so free of charge. This right empowers individuals to be aware of and verify the processing of their data, ensuring transparency, accuracy, and the ability to exercise other data subject rights. |
| The right to rectification | This right gives individuals the right to request the correction or updating of their inaccurate or incomplete personal data held by organisations.
Individuals can submit requests to Organisations, which are then responsible for verifying the accuracy of the data and making necessary corrections promptly. If the incorrect data has been shared with third parties, the organization must inform them about the rectification. This right allows individuals to ensure the accuracy and completeness of their personal data, promoting transparency and control over their information. |
| The right to erasure/be forgotten | This right grants individuals the right to request the deletion or removal of their personal data held by Organisations. This right can be exercised when the data is no longer necessary, consent is withdrawn, processing is unlawful, or there is a legal obligation to erase the data.Organisations must comply with erasure requests and inform third parties about the request, if applicable.However, certain exceptions may apply, such as when the right to freedom of expression or legal obligations are involved. The right to erasure empowers individuals to have control over their personal data and promotes privacy and data autonomy. |
| The right to restrict processing | This right allows individuals to request limitations on the processing of their personal data by Organisations.
This right can be exercised in situations where the accuracy of the data is disputed, processing is unlawful, data is no longer needed but required for legal claims, or an objection to processing is pending verification. When processing is restricted, Organisations can only store the data and must refrain from further processing unless with the individual’s consent or for specific legal purposes. The right to restrict processing gives individuals control over their data and promotes privacy, accuracy, and individual autonomy in data processing. |
| The right to data portability | This right gives individuals the ability to request and receive their personal data from an organization in a machine-readable format.
This data can then be transferred to another organization of the individual’s choice. The right applies to personal data provided by the individual and processed based on consent or contract. Organisations must facilitate the direct transfer of the data or transmit it to the requested organization. While technical feasibility and data security are considerations, the right to data portability aims to empower individuals by promoting data control, facilitating data transfers, and encouraging competition and interoperability among service providers. |
| The right to object | This right gives individuals the power to object to the processing of their personal data by Organisations. This right applies to processing based on legitimate interests or for direct marketing purposes.
Individuals must be provided with clear notice of this right and have the ability to object before or at the time of processing. Organisations must respect the objection unless they can demonstrate compelling legitimate grounds for continued processing that outweigh the individual’s interests. The right to object empowers individuals to have control over their personal data, protect their privacy, and influence how their data is used. |
| Rights relating to automated decision making and profiling | This right provides individuals with safeguards against potentially negative effects of automated decisions and profiling processes.
Individuals have the right to receive an explanation when automated decisions significantly affect them. They also have the right not to be subject to solely automated decisions with legal or similarly significant consequences unless there is human intervention or explicit consent. Profiling, which involves automated processing to evaluate aspects of individuals, is subject to transparency, fairness, and the individual’s explicit consent |
